PLOW SLIDE SHOE.

Application filed February 28, 1927. Serial No. 171,569.

The present invention relates to a slide shoe for plows and the object is to produce a device of this class with the advantages of simplicity, durability, and general efliciency.

Another important object of the invention lies in the provision of an attachment of this nature which is easy to mount and has an adjustable member ,to compensate for the Wear in the slide of the plow.

A still further very important object of the invention lies in the provision .of a device of this nature which is manufactured at a low cost, and thoroughly reliable in oper-' ation, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view, as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing Figure l is a side elevation of a plow showing the shoe mounted on the side there of,

Figure 2 is a rear elevation thereof,

Figure 3 is a top plan view of an adjustable member consisting in the attachment of the shoe, a

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the shoe.

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes a plow of conventional structure having the usual conventional or any preferred form of land slides 6 projecting rearwardly therefrom in the usual well known manner. The numeral 7 denotes the brace bar which projects up wardly from the rear end of the landslide being attached thereto by a tongue 8. The parts thus far described are conventional and have been illustrated herein merely by way of example in order to bring out the utility and advantages of my shoe.

The shoe is shown to advantage in Fig. 4

and comprises a vertical rectangular late body 9 having a laterally disposed ange 10 on its bottom edge. The forward end of this flange is disposed diagonally and is sharpened as indicated at 11. The forward end or edge of the plate body 9 is also sharpened as is indicated at 12. The plate b0 y 9 is provided with an opening 13 intermedlate 1ts ends for receiving the bolt 8 so that the plate body extends alongside the outer surface of the land slide 6 and the flange exaway and is curved upwardly to some extent as is indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1. This wear increases with age and the blocks 15 and 16 will compensate for this wear to hold the shoe steady and firmly on the land slide with the assistance of bolt 8. i

It is thought that the construction, opcration, and advantages of this invention will now bequite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof, It is apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in tho combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is In combination, a plow, a land slide extending from the plow, a handle brace, a bolt holding the handle brace on the land slide, a shoe, said shoe comprising an elongated plate body having its forward edge sharpened and provided with an opening intermediate its ends for receiving said bolt, a flange extending from the lower longitudinal edge of the plate body laterally thereof and having its forward edge diagonal and sharpened, and an auxiliary attaching mem ber comprising a pair of spaced parallel blocks, means for holding the blocks together, said blocks adapted toslide over the upper surface of the flange and to receive the lower edge of the land slide therebetween.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature,

HUBERT L. EVANS.
